We don't actually have two modules, but we have increased the width of each side module by 1 1/2" and switched from belts to #25 chain to make room for two ranks of wheels. We gear down 2:1 from the drive axle to the dead axles, which makes the 4" wheel on the drive axle go the same speed as the 8's. We're designing a tortoise to face off against the hares. We just have to do some testing to make sure we're not a tortuga.
